And equally amusing, and proving her point in some ways...the douchebag morons at the Daily Mail...pixelated it. :)

In case you wanted to know what's going on over at Parler (Conservative Lunatic Twitter) from Milo Yiannopoulos, (permanently banned from Twitter for harassment in 2016 and Facebook in 2019. And here all the time I thought nurses just helped sick people. I had no idea... :)
"The Game Changers" (movie above) is worth watching. It is extremely educational about how to have a diet that will make you have more erections, longer lasting boners, the ability to better satisfy wanton pussies (giggles at self) health, diets, veganism, carnivores, our ancestors going back to caveman days, social issues, and a myriad of other topics. The executive producers include James Cameron, interviews with Arnold Schwarzenegger and numerous other people from the health and fitness industry including power lifters, body builders, MMA people, marital arts specialists, Special Forces types and on and on.
Tying in with the above movie topic, is this recent "report" alleging that nearly 75% of all Americans are overweight or obese. My beef with this (See what I did there? Beef?) is how shady and inaccurate this is. Yes, obviously we have a weight and health issue. No one is questioning that. I am however asserting that their conclusions are based on some seriously bogus and flawed criteria.
Below is your standard height/weight chart that most of the medical community uses. Fine, whatever right? No, its not fine. Its wrong. From what I can tell, the first usage of this "formula" was done by the life insurance industry in the early 1980s, and people have been copying/pasting it ever since. So, the objective of the life insurance industry was to not pay out on policies. Profits right? Its all about profit.
So, some scrawny insurance agent geek hooked up with some skinny pencil necked cardiologist geek whose stance was that the lighter we were, body mass wise, its easier on our heart, less work on the heart muscle, so ergo they concluded that would mean a longer life.
The problem is...they're only looking at one metric. They are not looking at other aspects of health and lifestyle. As in some guy, a dude, who did manual labor for years, is going to have more muscle mass than someone who works in an office and lifts nothing heavier than a coffee mug. That's just a fact. Loggers, cowboys, mechanics, construction workers, longshoreman, warehouse workers and so on, are going to have a higher weight/height ratio, due to that increased muscle mass density.
Plus, this "formula" does not factor in body types, as in somatotyping. You know endomorph, ectomorph and mesomorph. And race has something to do with this as well. Bone density. Think of certain Pacific Islanders, Samoans, these people are big and thick, they eat mostly fish and vegetables, they have very thick bones which are going to make them weigh more. Its sort of like this whole 40 year old chart was made with only average white office workers in mind and not factoring in anyone else.
Sure, sure, who am I to question the erudition of the medical community? I mean, have they ever been wrong? Have they ever been swayed by advertising and lobbyists? Yea, all the fucking time. I mean, just look at the Oxycontin fiasco the last decade or so. They got millions of Americans hooked on Oxy, which is an Opiate, heroin basically. Plus they've been screaming for half a century about how smoking weed will kill everyone soon, or quickly, or last weekend. Now marijuana is legal in like half the states, all the hippies that are/were stoners are in their 70s and 80s, and doing just fine. Steroids? The anabolic type that athletes use? Sure, an excess of them can be harmful. But look at all the guys that did huge amounts for years, like Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, football players, baseball players, powerlifters, actors, body builders...and most of the well known ones are now in their...70's or 80s, and doing just fine.
Alcohol? Sure, drinking too much is bad for you. But along the same lines as the above, the medical community has been using a "guideline" of no more than 2 drinks a day for men, 1 drink a day for women...from a 1973 recommendation from the Department of Agriculture. The Dept. of Ag? Aren't those the people that are supposed to know about how to plant corn and to use fertilizer? What? How they hell did they become "experts" on alcohol consumption? Especially when you factor in the people that live in the so called "Blue Zones"...meaning where people live much longer than average...consume more alcohol than average.
My point is, not everything doctors say is true. Do some research. Ask questions. Don't think that all problems can be rectified by a massively overpriced pill from Wall Street...um...I mean Big Pharma and the doctors that accept payments, bribes, swag, gifts, vacations and God know what else to push said advice, diets, pills and treatments. Most doctors are okay, a few are great, but a lot of them are disgusting whores that will do and say anything...to make a buck. Get a 2nd opinion. Then get a 3rd opinion, then use your own judgement and common sense before accepting everything they tell you. Don't let their bullying tactics, and yes some do that, and their massive egos determine what sort of extremely important decisions you make about your health, and your very life.
And by the way...not that it matters, but I'm not wearing pants. :)
